    They do. Because they already got away with making the US fail to realize a whole bunch. About project 2025. About Trump. School shootings. Class solidarity. Etc. The US is pliable because 50% of the country just needs someone on Fox to tell them how okay it is for them to get fucked, and they’ll just let it happen.

    Problem is, there are clear limits on how far this can be pushed. And these idiots are just about to discover what those limits are. But they are without question idiots, and certainly stupid enough to not see how this is going to effect them.

      When people can’t to feed themselves, that’s when the riots will start. I’m not looking forward to it, but it looks like they’re going for a complete system breakdown.

        I’m not so sure. Republicans do have a persecution fetish, but that’s specifically tuned not to apply to Republican leaders. Instead, the anger will be pointed at minorities. Many will take the bait because it’s what they do as a bloc every single time.

          Nah, a few days without food and people will storm the White house. There isnt a country in the world that will literally starve to death.
